We are a teaching facility. Psychological Testing* was administered by a Psychology Student.
Later on, a Psychologist (PsyD,HSPP) reviewed and interpreted and prepared a report which began like this - "The following is the psychological report from the above psychological testing. I personally spent over 2 hours supervising and interpreting this assessment and report...."
This obviously cannot be 96101, since the Psychologist did not perform the testing and cannot be coded for interpretation and report of 96102 & 96103.
Is 96102 appropriate here with the Psychology Student as "technician"? or would this be an unbillable service?
96102 - Psychological testing (includes psychodiagnostic assessment of emotionality, intellectual abilities, personality and psychopathology, eg, MMPI and WAIS), with qualified health care professional interpretation and report, administered by technician, per hour of technician time, face to face.
*Tests Administered:
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF)
Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III)
Measure of Symptom Validity
Thematic Apperception Test
Thank you in advance.
